On the border between the Orcs and the Demons, there was an Orc camp not far from Thekassar City. This was the camp of the 2nd Orc Legion that was heading to Sulina City to support the frontline. They did not set up camp in Thekassar City. One reason was that Thekassar City itself was too small, and it would be difficult to fit an army of 100,000. The second reason was that they wanted to meet up with the Demons. Thekassar City was also a relatively important border city, and there were some things inside that the Demons could not see. Therefore, they chose to set up camp in the wild.
The 2nd Orc Legion had been here for a whole day. They set off earlier than the Demons, but the journey was longer, so they only arrived after marching for a day. After setting up camp, they waited for the Demons' troops. The Demons were closer, and they would probably arrive in less than half a day. If the Demons set off tomorrow morning, they should be able to meet up tomorrow afternoon.
That was what Haken, the commander of the 2nd Orc Legion, thought. However, there was good news just now. The Demons actually set off at night. In this case, they would basically be able to meet up with the Demons at dawn the next morning. It would be great if they could set off earlier.
"It seems that your commander, Kaichener, also wants to go to the battlefield as soon as possible." Haken nodded. He had the same thought. The earlier they arrived at the battlefield, the earlier they could start fighting. Speaking of fighting, his blood was boiling.
"Of course. Our 2nd Orc Legion has not participated in a big battle for two years. Usually, we only fight bandits at most. The soldiers are just too hungry, and our Marshal Kaichener is so happy that he can't even sleep when he heard that he could participate in such a big battle with human troops." Sitting in front of Haken was the administrative officer of the 2nd Demons Legion, Sai Gong. A few hours ago, he knelt in front of Li Huailin and refused to surrender. Now, he was happily sitting opposite Haken and chatting with him as if nothing had happened.
"So that's the case …" Haken nodded. "I can understand how you feel. I can't wait any longer. Although I haven't fought alongside your marshal, I think he's a man worth making friends with. I'm looking forward to eliminating enemies on the battlefield with him. "
"Our Marshal is also looking forward to it." Sai Gong nodded. "Come, let me toast you again, Marshal Haken."
"Good, I didn't expect a steward like you could drink so much. Cheers!" Haken was so happy that he immediately drained the glass of wine in his hand. "But I didn't expect that you, the steward, would come here to inform us. This is really rare."
"Of course I know Marshal Haken is a famous alcoholic among the beasts. I'm the best drinker in the Second Troop of Demons, so I took on the mission myself," Sai Gong said.
"Hahahahaha..." Hearing this, Haken burst out into laughter. He liked drinking and fighting the most. Therefore, Sai Gong's praise hit his itch. Of course, Haken was very happy, "Good, I've not imagined that there's a demon who knows how to drink like you. I appreciate you. Come on, have another drink with me!"
"Don't worry, Marshal. I'll keep you company until the end!" Sai Gong clinked his glass with Haken's and drained it.
"Good! But I don't feel like drinking like this. Since we're both drinkers, guards, give me a big bowl! "Haken said with a smile.
"Sure! Let's drink it in a big bowl! "Sai Gong nodded immediately.
Throughout the night, the two of them drank and toasted each other. Haken was very happy, and the more he drank, the happier he became. The two of them drank until midnight, and Haken couldn't take it anymore. He slumped on the table in a drunken state.
"This … this … someone actually managed to drink me to the point that I'm lying on the ground. You're … amazing … I admire you …" Haken was a rather simple orc man. If someone was more powerful than him, he would naturally praise them.
"Don't say that, General … Wah …" Sai Gong had just said two words when he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Oh … what … what's wrong with you?" Haken was on the verge of passing out, but he still reacted when he saw Sai Gong spitting out blood.
"Oh, it's nothing. It's probably a stomach hemorrhage," Sai Gong said calmly, as if he wasn't the one spitting out blood.
"This body?" asked Haken in a drunken stupor. He was already in a daze.
"It's nothing, Marshal. I think it's about time. Let's finish this jar and rest early," Sai Gong said.
"Sure!" Haken was excited when he mentioned drinking. He immediately sat up and said, "Come on, let's drink!"
The two picked up the wine jars beside them and started drinking. However, it was obvious that Haken couldn't hold on any longer. Halfway through, Haken's head tilted and he fell onto the table. The wine jar fell to the side.
The sound of the wine jar breaking was heard. The guards at the entrance immediately rushed in and looked at the situation inside the tent nervously.
"It's fine, your marshal is drunk," Sai Gong said, pointing at Haken who was lying on the table.
"What … what are you doing here? Come on, continue to drink, continue to drink … "Haken couldn't even open his eyes. He just kept talking nonsense.
"I'm going back to rest. You guys take care of the marshal," Sai Gong stood up and said.
"Alright, Master Sai Gong, we'll bring you back to the tent to rest." The guards were also very surprised. 'How could this demon make Haken drunk? That's awesome! Haken could even make 10 people drunk in the military camp. How could he make one drunk this time? This demon called Sai Gong is not ordinary...' The guards started to admire Sai Gong a bit. Therefore, they invited him into the tent to have a rest very respectfully.
Nothing happened that night. Early the next morning, when the sun had just risen, the guards came to find Haken. However, it was useless to find him now, because Haken had just been drunk and hadn't come back yet.
"What's wrong?" Yong Ge, the deputy commander of the second army of the Beastmen, asked as he walked into the tent.
"The scouts have reported that the Demons are approaching our barracks. Deputy, look at the marshal …" the guard pointed at Haken, who was still rolling around on the bed.
"Err … the marshal is drinking in the barracks again?" Yong Ge immediately felt a headache coming on. The marshal was good at everything. He was strong and good at fighting, but he liked to drink. The barracks clearly stated that drinking was not allowed, but this marshal really did not know how to set an example. It was not the first time he had violated the rules. Yong Ge was having a headache, but her advice always failed. She could not do anything about it.
"Marshal, marshal, get up!" Yong Ge angrily walked up to Haken and pulled him up.
"Yong Ge … what's wrong? My head is killing me … "Haken asked Yong Ge as he sobered up a little.
"The Demons are here. As the marshal, you should at least come out and greet them," Yong Ge said.
"Oh, right..." Haken nodded. Since the other party was his reinforcement, it would be inexcusable if he did not greet them. Therefore, he sat up despite the severe headache and said, "Help me wash up and give me a bowl of hangover soup..."
"It's done …" The guard immediately passed the soup to him.
"By the way … erm, where's Colonel Sai? He's such a drinker. I like men like him. I didn't expect the Demons to have such a good drinker too … Quick, give him a bowl. He'll be greeting them with me later …" Haken said after his mind cleared up a little.
"Yes, General, I'll get someone to send it right away …" The guard next to him replied. However, before he could finish his words, a hurried report suddenly came from the entrance of the tent.
"Report!" the guard at the entrance shouted.
"What's the matter?" Haken asked impatiently. His ears were a little red.
"Bad news! The messenger from the Demons, Sir Sai … he … "the guard said while trembling.
"What happened to Sir Sai?" Haken asked.
"He's … dead …" the guard said.
"What?" Everyone was stunned. How was that possible? Yong Ge immediately asked, "How did he die?"
"I don't know. The guard went to look for him and found him dead in the tent. He didn't have any external injuries. It looks like … he died from drinking too much?" the guard said.
"Huh? He died from drinking too much? "Everyone was stunned. They all turned to Marshal Haken.
"That … that's impossible!" Haken said immediately. "Sir Sai is a good drinker. How could he die from drinking? Quick … bring me to him. "
They immediately went to Sai Gong's tent. Sai Gong was lying on the bed. His body was pale and cold. It seemed like he had been dead for a long time. Beside the pillow was Sai Gong's vomit of blood and alcohol. It was an exaggerated scene.
When they came in, the military doctor was performing an autopsy. The doctor sighed when he saw Haken. "He did die from drinking too much. He had a lot of gastric bleeding. I don't know how he managed to survive until now. I bet he died as soon as he laid down."
"How … how is that possible? He was fine when he left yesterday," Haken said immediately. Haken immediately said. If something happened, he would definitely call the guards at the gate. How could he just die without saying a word?
"But that's what happened," the doctor said.
"This …" Haken already had a headache. It was even worse now.
"Marshal, what should we do now? The messenger that the Demons sent to us was drunk to death. How are we going to explain this to them? "Yong Ge asked nervously.
"How the f * ck would I know?" Haken roared. However, he calmed down after saying that. "We have to deal with this properly. Otherwise, it will cause discord between the two sides. How about this? I'll go to the Demons' Marshal and explain it to him."
